Expert Reply:
For a 2018 Ram 2500 with a 6'-4" bed you will need a slide type hitch to make up to a 90 degree turn.
I recommend the 20K rated B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3670.
This hitch is designed to attach to the OEM puck system in your Ram, the slider base on this hitch helps eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns. The use of the OEM puck system means the hitch removes without a trace for full bed access.
This hitch is Made in USA and built with a full 1" thick dual jaw design that provides 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. This means less rattle and more security than slide-bar design jaws and the cam-action latching handle helps prevent binding which provides a simple release, even on unlevel terrain.
